July 16, 2024Jul 16 Losing two strong indie bands from the lower echelons of my points there. Pleased they both got two other voters (both different, slightly surprisingly) and did respectably.
July 16, 2024Jul 16 Vampire Weekend easily my fave since I last posted, would have thought they'd get a few more voters than that (maybe easy to forget they ever had a top 40 single?) Also generally approve of Kings Of Leon, The Go! Team, Elbow and Orbital, plus Mumford & Sons for their first two albums although they fell off a bit after that. And plenty more that I like the handful of songs I've heard from them again (Siouxsie And The Banshees and Ash stand out as ones I should probably know more from than I do).
July 16, 2024Jul 16 Not the Doors and the Police falling out already. :( Faves from each have to be Riders On The Storm and Roxanne. :heart:THAT Riders on the Storm? Ooooh TIL something. really loving the 2004 remix by Snoop Dogg and Fredwreck as the soundtrack of Need for Speed: Underground 2! :music: -6hxH80TCp8 Santana and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park also did a lovely cover of it: DYxWF-A2zq4

VW would’ve got big points from me, but I didn’t realise that they scraped the Top 40 a couple of times!
July 16, 2024Jul 16 Bwitched, Boyzone, Boney M, Veronica’s, The Police - all really good just not enough to be in my personal top 30
July 16, 2024Jul 16 Losing two strong indie bands from the lower echelons of my points there. Pleased they both got two other voters (both different, slightly surprisingly) and did respectably. Bloc Party are an excellent shout and would definitely have got points from me if I'd charted anything by them. Ash had many great singles back in the day, 'Goldfinger' and 'Oh Yeah' perhaps my favourites, though last year's 'Race The Night' is up there with the best of them too.

July 17, 2024Jul 17 Some good names dropping out over the last couple of days, I love The Doors’ eponymous album, Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures and Vampire Weekend’s latest album is my second favourite of the year so far, only behind Billie Eilish.

July 17, 2024Jul 17 O M G how did I forget Maneskin?! Ive been obsessed with them ever since Eurovision, now im annoyed with myself ! Also LOVE both Booty Luv and FLO, great trio!
July 17, 2024Jul 17 Another one who could easily have included Maneskin here. It's hard narrowing it down to just 30 groups.
July 17, 2024Jul 17 I love both Booty Luv and Måneskin. Måneskin may potentially have made my top 40 or 50.

July 18, 2024Jul 18 Bucks Fizz, Fall Out Boy and Cardigans are good, no idea who Jesus and Mary are :lol: Dead Or Alive! Knew I’d be the highest voter for them, bit of a fall since last year but still almost top 150, obsessed ❤️ Edited July 18, 2024Jul 18 by Lukuzz
